RACE OF CHAMPIONS FOUR CYLINDER DASH SERIES TRIPLE CHALLENGE

Race of Champions Modified Series management is proud to introduce the “Dash Series Triple Challenge” as part of the Presque Isle Downs & Casino Race of Champions Weekend at Lake Erie Speedway. The Four Cylinder Dash Series will be the only division with the opportunity to compete in each of the three nights of the weekend as part of the “Dash Series Triple Challenge”.

The “Dash Series Triple Challenge” will kick off on Friday, September 25 as part of the open practice night, with qualifying races and a 20-lap feature paying $333.33 to win. The top-16 finishers in the Friday night portion of the event will automatically be transferred to the Saturday, September 26 feature event. On Saturday the winner will draw one of four numbers that will establish the invert, which will be 10, 12, 14 or 16. There will be qualifying events to set the remainder of the field on Saturday. The remaining cars that participated in the Friday night feature will be placed ahead of any additional or new entries on Saturday. The Saturday feature will pay $333.33-to-win.

On Sunday, the deck will be restacked and all competitors will start from scratch with qualifying races and a feature as part of the “Butch Palmer Classic” 32, with a 32-lap feature in honor of the late Butch Palmer. The race will pay $370.70 to win, in honor of the 70th year of the Race of Champions 250.

The three features will have a separate point tabulation and an overall winner will be determined. The winner will receive the first annual “Fred Rounds Dash Series Triple Challenge Cup”. The overall combined standings along with Sunday’s “Butch Palmer Classic” 32 will count toward the championship point standings.

Purse enhancement for the Four Cylinder Dash Series has been provided by longtime Western New York race official, Art James of DC & H Consulting in Williamsville, N.Y.
